My 17 year old daughter has been a complete Beatles fan since she was 5 or 6. I’ve taken her to see these guys twice and she’s been hoarse both times and loved ‘em! If you’re a Beatles fan or your kid is, by all means, go see these guys, they’re as close as you’ll come without a time machine. Cheers!
2:43 she loves you 5:07 please please me 7:27 all my loving 11:07 I wanna hold your hand 14:47 hard days night 18:49 if I fell 21:40 eight days a week 24:25 can’t buy me love 26:40 yesterday 31:57 help 34:32 roll over beentoven 38:33 I saw her standing there 41:13 twist and shout
I like it, cause if want to skip a song to see & listen to let's say A Hard days night, all you have to do press in this case 14:47 & it fast forwards to that particular song.
OMG I was just there! When they sang “I Saw Her Standing There”, I just ran to the front of the stage and danced like a flame! And toward the end of the show, Ringo high fived me!! I’ll never forget that show!
When I was 18 months old, in 1964, my mother took me with her to see the Beatles arrive in Atlantic City. The Beatles have been the soundtrack of my life. Tonight I will be taking my grandson to see the Fab Four! My life has come full circle! ❤️
They are unique in that they can create and ad lib their own original humor and pass it for something the Beatles themselves could have easily said. Ardy has nailed Paul's voice perfectly.
Just saw this line up recently in Ridgefield ,Ct and they were amazing. They are coming back in Feb of 24 and if it is not the same line up,I think I would be disappointed.
Excellent. I saw one, "1964 The Tribute", years back before they lost one of the members of the band and had one of the greatest times I'd ever had. Highly recommend checking them out as well.
They've had several great musicians in the line up over the years...I've seen them maybe a half dozen times, and it's never been the exact same line up each time...makes it interesting, I guess...!!!
I believe this John and George are from 'Rain'. Quite good muso's, know their stuff. Don't know the drummer, I remember Ardy use to go and fill in as 'Rains' bass player on occasion, this George and John would be on board sometimes, the drummer they used back at that time, used to also play with 'The Fab Four' as well. Don't know this drummer!
Just saw this band in Reading, PA. Probably the biggest burst of nostalgia I’ve ever had in years! I heard the person who played Paul in the show I saw was a 19 year old , who looked and sounded like him with upmost perfection! Overall, one of the best cover concerts I’ve been to.
Gavin Pring is outstanding as George. I saw The Fab Four a few times in Liverpool years ago, Gavin also appeared with his other band George Harry's Son. We saw him in The Cavern one night & my wife had her photo taken with him & his girlfriend, a really nice bloke.
Is the bass player a natural lefty? He does have a left handed bass guitar with the pick guard in the correct position. If anyone knows, please give me a heads-up. Thanks.
@@coolgr3y997 I am going back to before Gavin came on board as George, they had Ron as John, Ardy as Paul, Eric as Ringo, and another dude as George, but he never looked like George, he played OK, and he still comes in as a filler, but he also comes on as Eric Clapton, when the need arises. So he is still definately in the team. I see him in Ardy's 'Wings' tribute show, as one of the guitarists, and Ron plays keyboards. Quite a good show. 'The Fab Four' did a black and white doco, about themselves, a day in the life of 'The Fab Four', where they are getting ready for a show, behind the scenes and talking about their passion about having everything as authentic to the Beatles as they possibly can. Eric is on drums, and he comes close to emulating Ringo, where Rolo doesn't, but he plays good drums. Eric I think is a better drummer, but again, each to their own. This was done quite a few years ago, back before Adam came on the scene Adam was well entrenched in 'The Bootleg Beatles' tribute band back at the time of this documentary feature. Gavin had not long come on board as George. It seems a lot more member's have come into the mix, so 'The Fab Four' can continue. Very well done.
@@nevillede-hoedt6520 yes they have had a couple new members in the last couple of years, I think they are all great even though I hear mixed opinions but I think that’s just the original fans that favor the original members of ff which I understand. But it seems like they know what they are doing and only hire A-class musicians and impersonators. I love them all! Cheers m8!
It's like Broadway Productions that go around the country...there's the one that Stays in NY and the ones that go on the road. It's still Broadway quality, mind. But, back in the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA days and you were in Cincinnati hoping to see Michael Crawford and saw this Young kid instead? Sure, we were initially disappointed but the guy was astounding. But I'd want to see the Ardy, Gavin, Adam lineup. splitting them up like this screws with harmonies sometimes and also CHEMISTRY.
These guys have the vocal chops, the musicianship, the charisma, but mostly THE DEDICATION to try and get every nuance just like the record, which is what we all crave. Unbelievable. And I play Beatles music myself, just not like these guys. 🤓
Yeah, I know what you mean, but 'The Fab Four' do their little tribute to 'Hard Days Night' film where Paul's grandfather, is played by Sitcom comedienne W. Brambel (old Steptoe) where he comes up onto the stage (on a platform lift type) while the Beatles are doing their show, where they need to remove him off the stage. During the train ride Brambel is sitting with 'The Beatles', and John Lennon asks them all "who was the little old man", and Paul answers by saying he was his grandfather, and they discuss the fact that he was his other grandfather. Obviously they had met and knew his grandfather, but not this one. In 'The Fab Four's' stage show, John asks "whose the little old man", where Paul says, "what little old man"? and John says, "that little old man", and Paul says, "oh, that's our host, Mr Ed", and asks the audience to say "hello to Mr Ed!". Then John says, "No, Mr Ed's a Horse, a Horse", and Paul says "of course, ofcourse", and Ed then leaves the stage. The comedienne playing Ed Sullivan, is accually a fine all round musician, he plays guitar, bass and keyboards, also sings, so his part in the team is a versatile part. Sometimes you will notice him playing with the (Fab 4) Other Beatle tribute shows have started adopting the Ed Sullivan character for the host of their shows, but none do it quite as good as 'The Fab Four's, not as convincing. The real Ed Sullivan did actually say, and it was pure spontaneity, and he didn't notice himself at the time, he said, "we have a really big shoe for you tonight". So 'The Fab Four' do try to be authentic with their script, and bring a bit of comedy to their show. When Adam Hastings came into the act, he took on Ron's lines and said the same lines, as Adam looks and sounds more like the real John Lennon, it came across better, because of his mannerism's being more like John Lennon. But Ron does well, after all, it is his show, his script's. They're very good.
Ok I saw them in 2007 in Vegas, this isn't them,. The vocals of the guys l saw were flawless, 2 songs in, and I've heard more unforgivable notes than l can count. Not good.

Why do we need to make a run down on the songs ??
I like it, cause if want to skip a song to see & listen to let's say A Hard days night, all you have to do press in this case 14:47 & it fast forwards to that particular song.
To check if it's worth carrying on. Life is short.!! 😂😂@@greggcooke3189
Thanks for this
Give props to Fab Four for keeping the Beatles' spirit alive.
OMG I was just there! When they sang “I Saw Her Standing There”, I just ran to the front of the stage and danced like a flame! And toward the end of the show, Ringo high fived me!! I’ll never forget that show!
I was there also, seen them twice at the Moore

I really like this stand-in George! Young, fresh and very capable, way to go!
He looks more like Paul than Ardy.
@@erzug was gonna say the same, lol
@@erzug And the 'John ' look kind of like one of the Everly Brothers, lol
The stand-in George looks more like Paul than Paul does..!! lol
gavin is a better george and he is a scouser :)
They are shockingly good.
TODD! Thanks so much for sharing this. Felt like we were right there with ya :)
Fun!
These guys and the Liverpool Legends are so much fun to see and hear.
These great great songs played so well. The way it's supposed to be
Liverpool Legends are shite as george users foot peddles the real george did not use them in the beatles
Ardy is amazing!! I hope he never stops
Utterly Outstanding!
Thanks for sharing.
I've just managed to get tickets for August - here in Liverpool, can't wait!
They are unique in that they can create and ad lib their own original humor and pass it for something the Beatles themselves could have easily said. Ardy has nailed Paul's voice perfectly.
Wow, timeless!

The drummer the best,I'm a drummer for 60 years, good jo
Wow, what a great show !
Wow, the Fab Four is so good even with stand-in playing. This is well worth going to the show.
Excellent.
I saw one, "1964 The Tribute", years back before they lost one of the members of the band and had one of the greatest times I'd ever had. Highly recommend checking them out as well.
1964 has been on my list for awhile and I hope I get to see them someday :)
Sensacional!!!!!!!!!
Ardy, Gavin,Joe and Adam is/was my favorite lineup. I'm glad i seen them .
they sound identical unbelievable
They are just simply amazing stuff!!!!!
The Fab Four - The spirit of The Beatles❣❣🙂👍
Saw them last night in Calgary. They were amazing. The new John Lennon was outstanding
He's pretty darn good. I would love to see them live
The members of The Fab Four are never the same.
PLEEEEEEEEEZE COME TO AUSTRALIA GUYS!! YOU ARE OUTSTANDING!! SUPERB
🟢🟢🟢 FABULOUS
Congratulations they sound like the real beatles awsome boys
Wow, didn’t expect to hear Penn introducing them!
It looks like Ardy is the only original Fab Four member!
Yep
They've had several great musicians in the line up over the years...I've seen them maybe a half dozen times, and it's never been the exact same line up each time...makes it interesting, I guess...!!!
@@chriswarren3090

Don't know this drummer!
The drummer is a bit heavy handed…Ring was occasionally too, but this guy is slugging his drums on every song…he needs to dial it back a notch or two…
They sound so much like them. And I have a way too critical ear when it comes to the Beatles.

I've been to the same concert
Wow at the Moore
These guys are so good it makes the rumor Paul died and was replaced with a look alike almost seem possible.
I'd like to add that not only do they sound and look great they're funny and have great legs.
The guy doing George looks more like Paul.
😳❗️I thought " John" was Peter Noon _( Herman's Hermits )_
This would've been a real hoot. They're pretty good. I need to watch the trades closer.
god they have the best job in the world
I saw them October of last year. It’s was AWESOME! It was Jon Fickes, Gavin Pring, Ardy but I dont remember who was ringo. It might have been Erik
Gavin Pring is outstanding as George. I saw The Fab Four a few times in Liverpool years ago, Gavin also appeared with
his other band George Harry's Son. We saw him in The Cavern one night & my wife had her photo taken with
him & his girlfriend, a really nice bloke.
@@terryday6734Gavin Pring will always be my favorite George actor
The guy playing “George” looks more like the young Paul of the mid sixties.
Right?!? He's absolutely adorable!
Funny you say that because he also plays Paul when necessary.
What happened to the other George? Haven't seen the Fab Four videos in a long time.
and john, thats hardly the same guy as a few years ago or am i tripping
Anyone know what's up with the Stand-ins..??
Like any growing theatre production, there are multiple cast members to represent each part.
Such a long fret on the Hofner!
No other tribute band uses comedy in the beginning of their act. This sort of thing would be good for the comedy clubs in downtown Manhattan
Is the bass player a natural lefty? He does have a left handed bass guitar with the pick guard in the correct position. If anyone knows, please give me a heads-up. Thanks.
he learned how to play left on bass and guitar.
🤓🙋♂️👍
Where are the other guys???!!
he even sounds like paul when he talks
I've never seen the guy playing George before. Is that Adam playing John? Or someone else?
The guy who played John Lennon is actually named John as well! But his last name is Fickus. (I dunno how to spell it, sorry)
Jon Fickes is playing John. George is played by Robbie Berg who’s been with the band since around 2017-2018.
@@Music_Maniac_2023 Thanks. 😊
@@Hudson112 Thank you. 😊
What happened to Hastings
THE BEATLES!! YAY!!
Boy they sound like the Beatles.
In the future, The Rolling Stones will follow this model hopefully.

@@Joe-bx4wn cheers
I think someone else did this before these guys?
Yes indeed - John, Paul, George and Ringo 👌
The drummer in this footage is the original 'Fab Four' drummer, he is perhaps one of the best Beatle drummers about, apart from Ringo himself.
The ringo here was Erik. Rolo was the original ff drummer.
@@coolgr3y997

変わったのが残念、、
You have to know the Beatles movies to be aware of what some of the catch phrases that are being used LOL !
Bet "Ed" could do a pretty darned good Nixon too.
14:23 34:32
That's a different John Lennon and George Harrison. What happened too Gavin Pring and Ron.

Is it just me or do all of you hate this John, all the other fab 4 John’s are great.
Goodbye Gavin and Adam.
How come they have Richard Nixon mc ing the show?
I just went to Busch Gardens to see the FabFour expecting to see Ardy, Gavin, Joe, and Adam but got a whole new group of guys. What happened?
It's like Broadway Productions that go around the country...there's the one that Stays in NY and the ones that go on the road. It's still Broadway quality, mind. But, back in the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA days and you were in Cincinnati hoping to see Michael Crawford and saw this Young kid instead? Sure, we were initially disappointed but the guy was astounding.

Yes, it was such a let down.
Joe has not been with them regularly since 2020. He’s with a different tribute band now.
I didn't mean Joe, the auto correct changed Rolo to Joe.
@@deewhite8947 Rolo sometimes has played drums with 'The Disney Set, Beatle tribute 'A Hard Days Night', so has Ardy, both from 'The Fab 4'.
Bass part incorrect on "Saw Her Standing There"...but as a bass player I admit that part is a bitch to play.....
Perfect except for the Ed Sullivan impersonator that keeps jumping out on stage. SIT DOWN!
These guys have the vocal chops, the musicianship, the charisma, but mostly THE DEDICATION to try and get every nuance just like the record, which is what we all crave. Unbelievable.
And I play Beatles music myself, just not like these guys. 🤓
To me the group RAIN is the best Beatles tribute band
There the ultimate tribute though

I don’t have a theory on this one, but my theory is your very wrong
C 'est pris de trop loin, le son n' est pas terrible !
Phoney Ed Sullivan belongs on Laugh-In!😝
